Its doing the .lob the best you can.
And bein-'j; just to you fellowman;-
It's making money, but holding friends,
ilnd staying tru" to j'-our aims and ends;
It's figuring how and learning why.
And looking forward and thinking hj.gh.
And drsairov'g a litt.le and doing much;
It's always kaeping in closest touch
Vi,'-' i:h wh:.t is finesi in v^^ord and deed;
It's teirig tlioroug’i, yet mcking speed;
11'otr’aggl..ng c;.\ 'ri th a, will to win,
But tak’;ng loss with a cheerful grin;
It'S shv-^rir^ sorrow and work and mirth
And irak:L.:g better this good old earth;
It's se.-n'irg, striving through strain and st:
stress,
It's doing your noblest--THAT'S SUCCESS."
